Fulham are expected to name an unchanged XI from the side that comprehensively defeated Aston Villa 3-0 on Thursday at Leeds United. The Cottagers produced arguably their best performance of the season as Villa were swept aside; a result which saw Steven Gerrard lose his job.
Marco Silva has been able to name a relatively settled side in recent weeks, starting with Bernd Leno in goal, who has been excellent since his move from Arsenal. Bobby Reid is set to continue at right back in the continued absence of Kenny Tete, with the attacker preferred in that position over summer signing Kevin Mbabu, who is not yet deemed to be at the required level.
Issa Diop, Tim Ream and Antonee Robinson are expected to make up the remainder of the back four, with the former having seemingly moved ahead of Tosin Adarabioyo in the last two matches. Midfield could prove to be a key battle at Elland Road and Fulham will fancy their chances with Harrison Reed and Joao Palhinha having formed an excellent partnership in holding midfield.
